So many colonial capitalist views on children…
Children themselves aren’t out here making anyone’s life harder under these conditions.
These conditions and systems aren’t natural for children and lives where children exist.
@kaliandtito@RealCandaceO Her knowledge comes from white supremacist textbooks. Read the Truth & Reconciliation Commission report in Canada (the same happened in US). Read “The Inconvenient Indian.” Read Bartolomé de la Casas on the destruction of the Indies for a first hand account from a white man.
@RealCandaceO Maybe you should read the Truth & Reconciliation Commission report, alongside some texts written by Indigenous historians rather than whitewashed accounts. And if you only trust white men, pick up Bartolomé De La Casas to start. Way to uphold white supremacy. Don’t buy her book.
You should consider opening a textbook.
90% of the Native Americans died from smallpox, a disease which the European settlers did not know they were carrying. There was no genocidal or murderous intent.
Do you consider the bubonic plague a genocide committed against Europeans?
Are you kidding? $15 is low. What are they getting paid right now?! Clearly mentoring & supporting students was not one of your motives in becoming an academic. Everyone deserves a living wage.
@jeffreyansloos Boy Chief trading post in Siksika makes & sells their own wool blankets ☺️ inspired natives out of Seattle too, but I gotta promote local 😁
just when I thought I couldn’t love @danjlevy anymore than I already do ☺️ Indigenous Canada is a free massive open online course offered thru U of Alberta. even if you’re in the US, so much of our history is parallel/shared! check it out!
@Laney_College professor tells a student to “Anglicize” her name, & proceeds to push it in a very ugly way. ironically, this institution claims to be anti-racist (don’t they all now...). time for early retirement, Prof Hubbard ✌️👋
I got emotional watching this, in the best way 🥰 this is so much more than just removing hunks of metal. the spirits of violence, rape, genocide, enslaving, & oppression that these statues paid tribute to are no longer emanating from them into this world ...
Unpopular opinion: A lot of us Indig. ppl also benefit from white privilege, especially those of us who are “white passing”. Racism based on skin colour is always on a spectrum related to Blackness. This is why it’s so important that we fight white supremacy collectively.
I can’t. the incessant murder of POC is far too much on its own, without a world “leader” continually reinforcing it. Hitler incarnate. white supremacy is a deadlier plague than any virus.
